Idea
(page 2)
A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.
You were made perfectly to be loved — and surely I have loved you, in the idea of you, my whole life long.
I love the writing. I love the idea of typing and seeing it on the computer and printing it out myself and, you know, moving sentences around. I like that.
Being proud of who we are as people is more important than cutting into ourselves to create this false idea of beauty.
Copy, art, and typography should be seen as a living entity; each element integrally related, in harmony with the whole, and essential to the execution of an idea.
I was only in college, unfortunately, for a year. I think my major was public relations, and I had no idea what it meant except it seemed maybe attainable.
I know for my wife and I, we always loved the idea of being young parents.
I was in uniform for four years, and I know that heroism doesn't occur from taking orders, but rather from people who through their own willpower and strength are willing to sacrifice their lives for an idea.
I have an idea that the phrase 'weaker sex' was coined by some woman to disarm the man she was preparing to overwhelm.
You wind up creating from silence, like painting a picture on a blank canvas that could bring tears to somebody's eyes. As songwriters, our blank canvas is silence.

I have no idea what the economics of the movie business is, especially with all the new Amazon, Netflix, Showtime, AMC, SyFy, and HBO series.

As a teenager, my dad taught me about the idea of unintended consequences, and I've had the experience, and how to deal with it, pounded into my soul over the years.
The great Comrade Kim Jong Il provided energetic guidance to defend and honour Comrade Kim Il Sung's idea of and exploits in socialist rural construction and make UAWK organizations creditably perform their duties as organizations for ideological education.
I don't have to come up with the best idea. It is my job to make sure that it is always the best idea that wins.
I think that vampires are sexy. The idea of them being untouchable has been really exciting for people.
Simplicity is not the goal. It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations.
You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There's another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift-buying and donate what they can to charity.
Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever. You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity.
An idea is so impersonal; it is yours today and the whole world's tomorrow.
If you want to kill any idea in the world, get a committee working on it.
